It released it in Europe in the spring of 2006, and the first item started, and "the city life Japanese edition" which translated all the sentences into Japanese in Japan on July 28, the same year was released. In addition, the downloading sale in DMM.com was started release as "city life deluxe Japanese edition" (as for the English letter notation "City Life Deluxe") that the Japanese translation like the previous work was given second item "City Life:World Edition" released successively in early 2007 on May 18, the same year from July 25, 2008, too. "City Life 2008 Edition" becoming the third item was released as the series in February, 2008, but the Japanese edition release of this is undecided. The new work of the series is announced in the form that I added the building which the stage of the scenario and a map and the player that it is can build to while almost following a previous work on the system side [1].
It is a work having a modernistic view of the world that it may be said that it is the similar instance that there is few it with the SIMM city series for a city construction game that a player becomes "the mayor" and locates buildings on various environmental land by minis cape type game to build the city from the beginning directly [2]. Each this series is only for a one play, and there are "the scenario mode" that a constant aim is shown as for the game mode and "the free mode" which can perform city construction freely. The stage of the game has some "game maps" under the plural "areas" and is fixed by purchasing "land" put out more for a division. In the environment of the game map, a construction degree of difficulty or tourist attractions are quite characterized by "an area". An achievement condition expressed with gold, silver, copper and three phases of medals depending on the degree of difficulty including population and the assets of the city is established with "a scenario mode" and cannot choose some "areas" "game map" "land" if I do not meet the achievement condition of the medal which it requires.
At first the flow of the game builds a city hall on the land which I purchased and a citizen comes over out of nowhere when I install facilities, a public institution, a road in a house and the workplace, spare time and settles down, and it is form to promote development more by building the facilities which they require depending on neighboring environment. It can perform the placement such as a building or the road for the option of the player, but it cannot control the civic action directly, and it becomes the root and trunk of the game I locate a building appropriately, and to induce their action. In addition, the progress is so-called real-time method, but I slow a flow at the time in the game / for the option of the player early, and it is possible for the stop, too.
A series common characteristic includes high flexibility of the viewpoint based on the 3DCG expression other than "a hierarchy group" to mention later. During a game, the player can get zooming in / in a viewpoint freely, but at this chance, as for the viewpoint that reached its closest point, an angle changes into parallelism from normal overview in the ground, and the viewpoint like the inhabitants in the game is provided. It can travel the city in this state and observes a city and the state of inhabitants and can confirm a trouble visually. In addition, I can let you fix scenery at night in morning, noon, the evening regardless of progress at the time in the game and express it. In addition, I search the inhabitants of specific requirements and enroll in "an address book" and can observe it in pursuit of an action.
Hierarchy group
As for all the inhabitants of the city, characteristics of this series maximum include a point belonging to "a hierarchy group". This is divided into six groups shown below by an economic environment and sense of values and has a serious influence on the city planning in the game.
| Traditional | Advanced | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| High income | Elite | ||
| ↑ | White-collar | Radical | |
| ↓ | Blue-collar | Fringe | |
| Low income | Roque RAS |
The background color of each hierarchy name each indicating the image color [3].
In this table, a hierarchy group located in the upper section is high in income, and the yield of taxes as the player fund increases so that there is much population. The left side of the table is the layer where the interest is strong in the peace and order with traditional sense of values and the right side of the table has advanced sense of values and is a strong layer of the interest for education. As for the game start original inhabitants, a blue-collar, a fringe, roque RAS belonging to the lower-income class play a key role, but the inhabitants who shift to the upper-income group by building the educational facility begin to appear, and the inhabitants of the hierarchy group same from the outside of the city begin to gather as the population increases.
The inhabitants have intense hostility in economical situation and sense of values for the hierarchy group in opposite poles and are opposed to the hierarchy group next to each other. On the other hand, I am friendly with the hierarchy group where oneself belongs to and the hierarchy group next to each other. For example, the elite continues being opposed to a blue-collar and the fringe against roque RAS and is friendly with a white-collar and the radical. Similarly, the blue-collar is opposed to a fringe and the elite against a radical, but is friendly with a white-collar and the roque RAS. Therefore, when opposed hierarchy groups come into contact, a trouble occurs and develops for peace and order aggravation such as a riot and the arson from the trifling opposition such as harassment and the quarrel. I locate the building in conjunction with each hierarchy group effectively in a city planning stage and promote the living apart of the compound to need the expenditure that generally the facilities controlling such an opposition are great, and consideration to avoid the contact between opposition hierarchy groups as much as possible is necessary. However, on the other hand, the invention such as locating facilities at the commutable position from the contradicting hierarchy group is necessary because the high facilities do not function if they do not let the people consisting of plural hierarchy groups engage.
In addition, the employee whom the facilities are necessary for as well as the appearance in the workplace and the spare time corresponding to each hierarchy group and influence to give to the neighborhood are different. In the house, only the appearance changes to a thing depending on the hierarchy group of the resident. The sidewalk which was attached in a certain house area by neighboring roads if a specific hierarchy group becomes dominant is painted with with a color to express the hierarchy group, and such an area attracts inhabitants belonging to the same hierarchy group.
